Fancy a song??
Supporting me by buying my music is always encouraged, but if you'd rather just throw in the tip jar, feel free, and much obliged!
Currently based in Denver, CO, John Wallace Morris is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and alien, that's crash-landed, and here for good. With a focus on coming in original and expanding the solo-performer sound with homemade percussion instruments and sounds, J.W., or "Trigger," as he is often called, adds elements of folk, country, bluegrass, soul, and even rock, to produce lyric-driven and relatable music for the every-person. If you can dig quirky, genuine songs about life, love, and getting into -- and out of -- trouble, then welcome!
More Original Music!
I recorded this one with the 1935 guitar as well -- a 1935 Cromwell, the one you see pictured, with 3 piezo transducers surface-mounted onto the body to go electric. 85-years-old. Built in the middle of the depression. It has a unique voice, to be sure.
This one is a bit of a folk-prog mashup, and takes an almost gypsy-like melodic turn with some heavy electric guitar.
What I was trying to do here is create a tale of two slightly different halves, building tension in two halves as well. I used the jumbo 12 string mic'd up, and I had to use a complete take, as there's no way I could seamlessly play into or edit guitar parts on this one.
On a side note, I swear my guitar and mic cables actually come alive and get crazy amazing tangled, only when I'm stoned.

I wrote all the guitar parts for this and 90% of the lyrics while alarmingly under the influence last night, barely remember it. All vocals and leg slapping were recorded from inside my truck.

This is an updated recording of an original instrumental of mine, with some minor changes, still recorded in one take, but with the Waterloo acoustic this time. I've really taken a shine to playing this one live. Love to all!
